{Blogger Spotlight} Hang This, Wear That

This blogging community has been so kind and encouraging to me, so I love the opportunity to spotlight fellow bloggers. Especially those who have taken a chance, and put themselves and their gifts on display for all our benefits. The monthly {Blogger Spotlight} Series supports and applauds those bloggers who dared to reach for their dreams, and share their talents with us. <i>(I promise I'm not about to bust into song.)</i><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">*****</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Chassity of <a href="http://looklingerlove.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Look Linger Love</a> is one of the most stylish girls around.

{Blogger Spotlight} Gallery Wall by Sarah Swanson Designs

Blogging may start as an outlet for the writer, but it can soon spring board into a new career or life's direction. I love getting to know a blogger through their posts, then watching their successes. It's almost like we all get to share in that. I have a heart for a person with an entrepreneurial spirit; someone who takes a chance, and puts themselves on display for the world to see, and unfortunately, to judge. I think we should build each other up, and encourage those that have the nerve to expose their talents.<br /><br />So with that speech, I'm starting a monthly {Blogger Spotlight} series that supports and applauds those bloggers that dared to reach their dreams, and share their talents with us.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">***** </div><br />Sarah Swanson of <a href="http://flourishdesignandstyle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Flourish Design + Style</a> has been a favorite blogger of mine for awhile, with a wicked eye for clean and sharp design. She opened her shop of affordable art, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/gallerywall?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">GALLERY WALL by Sarah Swanson Design,</a> as an easy way to add character, personality, and charm to your home. Whether you're filling frames to build a gallery wall, or layering it in a bookcase, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/gallerywall?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">GALLERY WALL</a> pieces will give you the boldness you want. And what's even better, is Sarah sells her original watercolors for only $10 each.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNrYHnRUjbLTOJbEzJJABetLpNXcmxbiEgMkuwgk0h8sMbmnxDjj47rsnteWoxrdATYVa1BNLj7tlpVSQE0f1tVpBNlPytvqADeCG0y88oZVpe7JBS8JPMBnZcyuUZpOr8Kv3YHGj8AIvC/s640/gallery1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
